Acting Fire Chief Warren Abriel said it's still unknown what started the blaze, but it does not appear suspicious. Abriel said he didn't know what the autopsy report showed, but believes Ladopolous died of smoke inhalation.

Firefighters found him on the second floor of his home at 28 Dove St. No one else was found in the building.

The home is near his former restaurant, now Center Square Pub, at 32 Dove St. The restaurant has been home to a number of establishments, including P.D. Ladd's, which was owned by Ladopoulos' father and known for serving a political crowd of legislative staffers and lobbyists.
